ktorrent is an aplication for opening and downloading torrent files can anyone please help me

Carlos’ remark was in regard to the fact that this is the games forum. You might have better luck in the network/internet forum. However, have you set up port forwarding (usually ports 6881-6999.)

That happened to me until I opened the ports TCP 6881 and UDP 4444 in Suse Firewall → allowed services → advanced.

FFI: Ktorrent and openSUSE/Suse: router, port forwarding, firewall, Torrent

And I’ll move this thread to networking.

no sorry still stalled

is there a way to port open in ktorrent

Have you tried Transmission? I had problems starting one of the torrent download applications from the Web pages.

What works better for me, download the torrent (seed?), start my case Transmission and then add/open the torrent (seed?).

sorry to say can you dumb it down and give me step by step instructions please thank you soo much

kTorrent works fine here. Must be some config setting.
First, are you behind a router? If so, you need the port used in kTorrent, to be forwarded to your PC’s IPaddress. If you have multiple PC’s in the house, see that yours has a fixed/static IP address.
Also, if your firewall is on, open the port for kTorrent in it.

Try qBittorrent. It is in the repos, and works much better than KTorrent. IMHO.

Only this post shows via NNTP (this group), not the previous ones.

I know what the question was, but it doesn’t show here.

part of the problem of building a web based forum and then half
tacking on a way for nntp to participate, kinda…

It wouldn’t, NNTP doesn’t provide a means to “move” a post from one group
to another.

Are asking me?

I use Transmission which came with OpenSuse 11.2 (Gnome desktop). Transmission

I’ve found the best way for me was to download the *.torrent file(s) I wanted from a site like an OpenSuSe mirror to a directory.
Then I launch the Transmission application.
Transmission uses Add to open the .torrent file(s).
You can select from which parts of the .torrent to download in Transmission.
Then start the download process.

knurpht how do i do all that , that you said i am so sorry guys this is a first for me as i am such a baby to opensuse and doing things manually now . could anyone write me some literal step by step instructions for what knurpht said to do a couple posts back

Have you read the instructions on Swerdna’s website? If you have a router. configuration will vary. You will need to read the documentation for your device.

Ktorrent and openSUSE/Suse: router, port forwarding, firewall, Torrent

Yep, which means that posts should be copied over as part of the procedure.

That breaks the dates, and there are no tools to easily copy posts either.

As we’ve said before, NNTP is not the primary interface here, so it’s not
going to have full feature parity.

If you know someone who would like to help code to bring things a bit
closer to parity, however, in the spirit of open source, contributions
would be welcome. :slight_smile:

As a work around, you will notice there is a link under each web post to view
the entire thread (check below swerdna’s sig). As long as you have a web
browser you can follow the entire thread. Granted it is not purely nntp,
but it works OK.
